What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. Inside Duck Lake 7’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
